Question
Chapter 3, Problem 14PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stronger acids, on the basis of inductive effects, are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The effect of electronegative atoms to help pull the charge to ease the release of a proton is called inductive electron-withdrawing effect.
The electron-negative atoms help with dispersion of the negative charge when the proton is released by an acid. This makes the acid stronger.

The pK, of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is 4.17, showing that it is slightly more acidic
than acetic acid (CH3CO0H, pKa 4.74).
(a) Show the fou
r different conjugate bases that would be formed by deprotonation
of the four different OH groups in ascorbic acid.
(b)
Compare the stabilities of these four conjugate bases, and predict which OH
group of ascorbic acid is the most acidic.
(c) Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base
of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even
though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.

The pKa of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, page 55) is 4.17, showing that it is slightly more acidic than acetic acid (CH3COOH, pKa 4.74). Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.

- Between acetic acid and benzoic acid, which is more acidic and why?arrow_forwardSalicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the barkof the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838.(a) Both functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka = 1.0 × 10−3 for the—CO2H group and 4.2 × 10−13 for the −OH group.
